With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
I was just about to fly to Vancouver to finish recording an EP with Louise Burns at 604 studios.
How has that affected your plans for the coming months? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
I was planning on doing some summer touring and festivals. I was also planning on releasing an EP.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home?
Honestly, I don't have a lot of free time. I was taking some university classes online until the end of June. But I have started an online song series where I post a new cover every Sunday. I have also been cowriting lots, and taking workshops from SAC, and Indie Week online.
What was the first thing you did/place you went to now the country is starting to slowly re-open?
I think the first thing I did was go to the Remedy Cafe on 124th st. I basically live on chai lattes so getting the chance to go get one again made my day haha.
Favourite Starlite Room Moment?
I think my favourite Starlite room moment was when Peter and I opened for Reign Wolf. I don't get stage fright, but that crowd was very intimidating. playing in front of that crowd and not having them throw beer cans at us was a thrilling experience. The crowd really seemed to enjoy themselves when we were playing. Watching Reign Wolf was also super cool. those guys stage presence is incredible. I also met a guy dressed as Santa that night which was pretty funny too.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Things change, but that doesn't always mean it is for the worst. When obstacles come your way it gives you the opportunity to grow, and learn something new.
